Adifo launches Bestmix extension platform
As an extension to Bestmix, their profit-driven feed formulation and recipe management system, Adifo has launched a cloud-based collaborative platform.
The extension platform is bound to revolutionise the information interchange between nutrition experts and the outside world to the benefit of all parties involved, including feed advisors, external partners and customers.
The Formulation as a Service solution securely implemented in the cloud gives users online access to part of a nutrition company''s Bestmix database. Users can retrieve minute-precise market data, rely on up-to-date equations and use state-of-the-art formulation functionality at any time. They can also record project or customer-specific data such as purchase costs and specifications.
Adifohas pioneered a way of working which will improve the collaborative interaction between all parties in the nutrition company''s value chain. Account managers and independent consultants will simulate adaptations to recipes to meet specific customer demands and evaluate immediately the cost impact of their adaptations.
Internal departments such as marketing, sales and quality assurance will produce their own data and reports without compromising core data. External interested parties will be able to sign knowledge contracts with the nutrition company and take advantage of nutritional know-how. Research centres will want to use the system to unlock their nutritional knowledge to interested parties all over the world.
The formulation department can learn about evolving customer preferences by analysing adaptations made by the client. The Formulation as a Service platform has the additional advantage of being easy to set up and use. There are no worries for the customer; the solution even eliminates the need for setting up and maintaining dedicated laptops for account managers or consultants. Adifo also backs up the data and updates the software continuously, leaving the customer care-free.
